Get Stefania back on the road: my delivery van repair fund

Stefania drives for a living in Brescia, and a broken suspension has stopped all income for 5 weeks.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,100. Without the vehicle I earn nothing. I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask. I support my family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working. I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $1,100 goes: • Towing and inspection: $70 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $190 • suspension replacement (parts): $840 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Shared this with my family. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
